Sweeping Auger
What is a Sweeping Auger?
A sweeping auger finds application where light density materials are stored, such as RDF, Fluff, Alternative Fuel, Wood Chips, Wood Waste, and Grains. As well, where sticky non-free-flowing materials requiring storage in large silos. The technical characteristics of the sweeping augers vary widely, it is important to keep in mind that the auger is mounted in the center of the silo and the length of the auger is the radius of the silo.
About the WTW Americas Sweeping Auger
The rotating, profiled screw rotates and revolves 360° around the silo bottom, reclaiming stored bulk material evenly along the length of its operation. It rotates around the discharge opening to draw the material toward the central opening. This provides even emptying of the silo in a mass-flow basis.
These screw dischargers have been designed to discharge large silos with a diameter in the range of 4.0 to 20.0 m.
Embracing green concrete technology, businesses have begun to prioritize the use of recycled materials, reducing water consumption, and implementing energy-efficient manufacturing processes. In addition, the development of smart concrete, infused with properties that sense structural changes, is a remarkable innovation transforming the construction landscape. With the arrival of self-healing materials, structures can now autonomously repair cracks, significantly extending their lifespan while curtailing maintenance expenses.
